 "Buy Mafia II (PS3) for Just Rs. 825")
The Sopranos was one of the most badass TV shows to grace HBO. The studio tried to capitalize on the show’s popularity with the game that was just downright horrible. Surprisingly lesser know Czech developer Illusion Softworks (now called 2K Czech) managed to capture the feel of the show with their open world action adventure, Mafia.

Released at a time when Grand Theft Auto III was the rage, Mafia didn’t exactly set the cash registers ringing but it managed to generate a rabid cult following for itself, praised for its tight narrative, engaging story and believable characters. The game was popular enough to spawn a sequel that significantly improved on various facets of gameplay like combat and visuals.
And now for a week, the PlayStation 3 version of this game is available on Play Asia for just Rs. 825, nearly 1,600 bucks cheaper than retail. Grab it fast though; stocks are limited.
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
